Important Notes:
- Where do they base the interests?
| Interest | Reference Month |
| 0.05% base interest | N/A |
| 3.55% p.a. bonus interest from this promo | January 2024’s average daily balance |
| Bonus Hongbaos | 31st January 2024’s day-end balance |
| 1% p.a. interest from completing HSBC Everyday+ programme | contrasted with the previous month’s average daily balance |
- The 1% p.a. bonus interest from Everyday+ is only applicable to Fresh Funds
- The HSBC Everyday+ program’s bonus 1% annual interest is only available on funds added during the preceding month. You will receive this 1% bonus for the month of February, for instance, if you topped off S$100,000 in February 2024 after having S$0 in your HSBC EGA account in January 2024. But come March 2024, this won’t qualify for the 1% annual bonus since it won’t be regarded as FRESH FUNDS
- When will the bonus interest be credited?
- Before any Bonus Interest or Lucky/Bonus Hongbao are paid, Eligible Customers must fulfill all Promotional requirements.
| Bonus Interest earning Period | Fulfillment Date |
| Existing Customers who already hold an Eligible Account: From 1 February 2024 until 31 March 2024 | May 31, 2024 |
